how long klingons normaly live and how fast they mature ?
since in undicovered country you see worf, which latter join federation on ent
. Why advocate decided to join starfleet ?
another is his son alexander - in few seasons you see him grow up from unborn child to little child, only to see him later in ds9 - whichstarts at same time as later episodes of tng - as fully mature young man.

Edit: Now that I look it up to be sure, there was no actual on screen connection between our Worf and Undiscovered Country Worf ergo there is no canon connection beside name though off screen it was intended to be his grandfather. - the filmmakers' intention was that the Star Trek VI character was the grandfather of the Next Generation character.
The guy in Star Trek VI was TNG Worf's grandfather. Our Worf was the only survivor of the Romulan attack on Khitomer and was found and adopted by a Starfleet officer.
True, but nothing disproves it, and we have a massive family resemblance as evidence.
Sometimes, if you want to bury the hatchet with a Klingon, it has to be in his skull. - Captain K'Tar of the USS Danu about J'mpok.
still, anyone have idea about how fast/slow klingons mature and thier longevity ?
Well you can judge from Kor, Kang and Koloth, they were all characters in the original series (~2268) and then over 100 years later they were in Deep Space 9 (2375), going by that alone shows that they live longer than Terrans.

I'd hazard a guess that their lifespan is roughly twice that of a human.
R.I.P
Seems like everyone in the ST universe lives longer than us poor Terrans.
I think I'll have another hamburger and fries and think about it.
Worf, Son Of Mogh, Son of Worf!
Sphere of Influence should have had this line:
"I am Worf, grandfather of myself!"
Actually humans, at least by the time of TNG, had much longer lives as well. Like Admiral McCoy, I think he was like... 120 or something.
And I believe other humans could also live longer on average than we do now.
Actually, by then, humans will likely be living far longer than any of the imaginary races from the Star Trek Universe (with the possible exception of the really advanced ones... like Organians).
5 years ago I watched a documentary on then current research into slowing and even reversing the aging process. The lead researcher laughed that most of the members of his research team had a bet going that the first person to live to 200 was already alive... and many of them were betting that that person was, at present, in their 50's or 60's.
Today I read an article from a Science News site that considers a prediction that we will be able to "print" out replacement hearts using your own stem cells and a bio-reactor based 3d printer within 10 years a conservative estimate (it will likely be about half that... 5 to 6 years).
Advances over the next 50 to 100 years in cybernetics will likely mean a relatively near future where the line between human and machine is all but erased, people live as long as they wish with their "minds" backed up and downloadable (or uploadable, if you wish) to a virtual "net" that would be indistinguishable from "reality" and the so called "technological singularity" will likely be reached within the next 100 - 150 years beyond which ANY predictions we make, no matter how wild, will be too conservative.
The Star Trek Universe has always been woefully conservative in it's view of the future. At the same time, ironically, it has acted as one of the chief spurs driving us towards that far more incredible future we're actually headed for.
On that day I realized that frankly the science guys scared me more than the gun toting specops of the world.
R.I.P
Well that's just because humans are pussies.
Lies you petaq ! o.0
I too think that with our current science immortalaty or rather agelessness is not that far away. Actually I would not even be that much surprised if its already possible. But considering the worlds constant growing population it would be kind of a bad idea to mix immortalaty into the pot. Something like that, if/when available, will the restricted to the upper 0,005% of the rich & powerful until overpopulation problems have been solved by stuff like space colonization and/or underwater citys and then ... "requires" proper ways to monetize it for the masses.
And McCoy STILL hated Transporters :P
Not really. More that Klingon anatomy is highly redundant, with lots of extra organs and backups (so to speak), which is why they are so tough to really bring down.
They can afford to give up that extra heart or whatever other extras they have even after over a long life. Heck, Worf isn't as old as Koloth and the others were in DS9, but he does still get around like a spring chicken in Sphere of Influence.
